Nursing 3130 Final Exam || All Correct.
Health Status and Needs of Pregnant Women and Infants correct answers - steady birth rate
- teenage mothers: rate declining until 2005
- substance abuse and use leading to adverse consequences
- violence as the cause of injuries and death for pregnant and postpartum women, unborn
children, and infants
Poor Nutrition, Weight Gain, and Oral Health correct answers - Nutrients important for fetal and
infant brain development; positive correlation between weight gain during pregnancy and normal
birth weight babies
- Inadequate weight gain related to low birth weight, premature births, and perinatal mortality
- Excessive weight gain possibly leading to increased risk for cesarean birth, large for
gestational age neonates, maternal retention of excess weight
- Obesity with increased risk for gestational diabetes, UTIs, wound infection, thrombolism,
hypertension of pregnancy, fetal monitoring difficulties, prolonged labor, and birth trauma
- Maternal periodontal disease linked to low birth weight and early fetal loss
Risk Factors for Pregnant Women and Infants correct answers - Drug use
- alcohol use
- tobacco use
- sexually transmitted disease
- HIV/AIDS
- poor nutrition, weight gain, and oral health
- socioeconomic status and social inequality
- teenage pregnancy
- maternal developmental disability
Drug Use correct answers - drug-exposed mother/ drug-dependent infant
- various substances used/poly-substance abuse
- often associated with limited prenatal care, inadequate nutrition, low pregnancy weight,
hypertension, more rapid heart rate, preterm labor and birth, high rates of depression, physical
abuse, HIV/AIDS, and other STDs
- increase risk for intrauterine fetal death, prematurity, low birth weight, infection, birth defects,
neurologic problems, learning disabilities, and HIV/AIDS
- fetal growth restriction; neonatal withdrawal
Alcohol Use correct answers - fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD)
- fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)
- alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD)
- alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND)
Tobacco Use correct answers - associated with ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortions,
intrauterine growth retardation, preterm birth, stillbirth, increased perinatal mortality, small-for-
gestational-age birth, low birth weight, neonatal anomalies, and lower APGAR scores
, - passive smoking: associated with decreased head circumference, depressed cognitive
development, lower birth weight
Health Problems of School-Age Children correct answers - death from injuries: motor
vehicle/traffic injury, drowning, fire/burns (ages 1 to 9 years); motor vehicle/traffic injury,
drowning, poisoning (ages 10 to 19 years); suicides with firearms (ages 10 to 19 years)
- communicable diseases
- head lice
- other health problems: undernutrition, poor dental health, obesity, inactivity
Age Group Risk of Injury correct answers - Infants: second highest injury rate of all groups of
children and are at risk because they are small, have small airways, are handled on high surfaces,
and have immature motor skills
- Toddlers: active with developing motor skills and inquisitive yet with relatively immature
logic abilities; therefore they experience a large number of falls and poisonings
- School Aged: lowest injury death rate but have difficulty judging speed and distance, placing
them at risk for pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Adolescent: injury and violence are the leading causes of morbidity an mortality; motor
vehicle deaths, drowning, and other intentional injuries contribute to adolescents having the
highest risk of an age group; use of weapons and drug and alcohol abuse; suicide is the third
leading cause of death among youths between the ages of 15 and 24 years
Immunization Theory correct answers The goal of immunization is to protect by using
immunizing agents to stimulate antibody formation. Immunizing agents for active immunity are
in the form of toxoids and vaccines. A toxoid is a bacterial toxin (tetanus, diptheria) that has
been heated or chemically treated to decrease virulence but not antibody-producing ability.
Vaccines are suspensions of attenuated (live) or inactivated (killed) microorganisms.
- Contraindications: Medical - immunocompromised, Religious - beliefs
Adolescent Health and Health Problems correct answers - emotional problems and teenage
suicide
- violence
- substance abuse
- teen sexuality and pregnancy
- sexually transmitted diseases or infections
- acne
- poor nutrition and eating disorders
Obesity correct answers - prevalence rates for obesity have more than quadrupled for most
children over the past 30 years
- physiologic consequences
- contributing factors
- modifiable risk factors
- type 2 diabetes
